This was excellent and much needed. The amount of deception in Church that I’m seeing from those involved in the NAR movement and so-called demon slayers is staggering and alarming.
I was in Foursquare for about 20 years. Not once in all that time did anybody bring up the subject of the Azusa Street Revival's dark side. Azusa was a revered event, as were other dubious manifestation of the Holy Spirit at work, such as the Montanists. "Fairy tale" is an apt description of the average Pentecostal's understanding of the movement's beginnings.
Would be interested in your view of the Welsh revival 1904/5 given Evan Roberts was included in the book God's Generals, and referenced in the opening of this video
Usually the first response in a true revival is repentance and weeping then will come Praise and Worship? Deliverance of souls from darkness to light? Prayer and fasting are the catalysts for true revival? False signs glorify man ? True Signs Glorify God
It lead to the development of the Assemblies of God and the Apostolic Church, two Pentecostal denominations in the UK. Both pacifist and retaining their pacifism once the US Assemblies of God gave theirs up. There was considerably less racism in these two British white Pentecostal denominations than in US Pentecostalism mostly because the UK was almost completely white in the first half of the 20th century. Also British Pentecostals were closely allied with socialism unlike most U.S. Pentecostals (Jim Jones being a notable exception).
These fantasy illusionists who "prophesy" of an "endtime" revival remind me of the false prophets of Jeremiah's era who prophesied peace. ~~ Another thing, these people who carry on with this revival nonsense, they are dissatisfied with their present experience in God, not a dissatisfaction because of a hunger for God so much, but because their experience is a false experience even in many cases of having a false jesus, a false gospel, and another spirit, a spirit that's not God.
This history of Azusa is critically important for those caught in the pentecostal orientation to be aware. In my fundamentalist pentecostal upbringing Azusa, Parham, Lake, LRM, etc. were always touted in the most glowing and sacred characterizations - in fact nothing could be further from the truth. These were just more Hinns and Hagins deceiving and be deceived - grifting off the name of Jesus Christ.
Hi could you please give some of infos concerning the Welsh revival of 1904 ? It seems to me that it is till today become like a idol - thanks lots - God bless you for your immensely important work
Thank you for researching topics we are told to accept on an emotional level. We are told to love God with all of our heart, soul, MIND and strength. If this was revival... no thanks!
It doesn't sound like Azusa Street was empowered by "the power thereof" godliness, the real Holy Spirit. The fruits of it were pretty bad. And the NAR, etc, follows after the same thing, using a cheap substitute as a selling tool.
I read about Azusa in the 90s while attending an AG church. I got out of there after realizing that they would believe anything they were told by any man or woman that would say God told them something. It was sad to see.
The gift of tongues in the assembly, the church, is to be decent, in order, and a legitimate language. It is also to be interpreted. My great grandfather once preached a sermon in Mexico in Spanish. He did not know Spanish. It was a genuine and legitimate operation of the gift of tongues. A 14 year old girl whose father i know very well prayed in spanish for a man on the street in the dominican republic. She also did not know spanish and the interpreter and the man bore witness to the fact that she prayed for his exact need. Another legitimate instance. Much of the babbling i hear is not the gift of tongues. But i have experienced the true gift as well. It is always sweet and in order and gives honor to God as people receive legitimate ministry.
And don't forget the most important thing? It's the full Born Again experience? You should feel God clean you from head to toe? It's when your worldly Spirit leaves and the Holy Spirit comes in Amen
Many more in Jesus than the NAR can see it in the Bible… and believe His Word to be true… It’s def not something we can manipulate or manufacture, though… much to the dismay of NAR…. Still God meets anyone where their hearts are open.
I recall football games when people were caught up in a spirit of the game Holy ghost expression needs godly revision and order But the holy ghost given on the day of Pentecost is what God's church must have As said I saw people exhausted and barely able to speak over a stupid football game Loud praise to God is great The Baptist are dead in praise But allow shouting at games I'll take a Holy praise to God every time
i dont think there is a problem of praying and asking for Revival, but i dont see it happening as to what i read in the Bible coving End Times Events !!!
It's notable that the newspaper calls it the Church of the Holy Jumpers. Not many Pentecostal historians pick up on that reference. Molokans are Russians/Armenians who practiced a form of Christianity at odds with Russian Orthodoxy and arguable a kind of proto-Pentecostalism. They were called Molokan Jumpers. They were persecuted in Russia (Tolstoy appears to have supported them) and many emigrated, some to Los Angeles. Azusa Street is in the Molokan neighborhood of LA. It could be said that the Azusa street 'Revival' is actually an adoption by the US underclass of the religion of Russian Molokans. Demos Shakarian, a descendent of these immigrants in California and an important figure in the Latter Rain movement explicitly acknowledges his Molokan roots. This is all relevant to understanding the significance and development of Pentecostalism as a non-elite sect of Christianity appealing to the interests of the relatively powerless. Note that women joined the movement to obtain power and free themselves from their husbands. The NAR today is a rebellion against economic elites, albeit with a contradictory and irrational commitment to a billionaire firmly ensconced in the economic elite although lacking a commitment to the elite's ideology solely because of his own psychopathy.
Shakarian may have been associated with them, but he was Albanian, not Russian. Many Albanians immigrated to the US because of the severe persecution of Albanian Christians by the Turks. See the movie, "America, America" by director Elia Kazan, himself of Albanian heritage. Kazan had testified of the presence of leftists in the movies to save his career, and was rejected by the victims. Both "On the Waterfront" and "America, America" were Kazans' way of explaining his reasons for complying with the demands of politicians. Today, symbols of everything for the "America, America" of prosperity are the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship, the true-gospel-supplantjng "prosperity gospel", and "The Kardashians", a TV series starring Demos Shakarian's granddaughters. Life is full of such ironies.
Shakarian was Armenian not Albanian. The Turks attacked Armenians not Albanians. Albania is not contiguous with Turkey. Armenia has been a part of the Russian empire and Soviet Union.
Don't confuse the Gift of Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues. Two spiritual gifts set in the Church assembly 1st Cor. 11:10. When your baptized in the Holy Spirit you will speak in tongues. That is primarily your prayer language in which you can pray for hours without stopping. If I ask you to pray for me in your native tongue;after about 5 minutes at the most you're done. Finite prayer. In the spirit i can pray to the Father about you and it is perfect prayer in tongues. When I set a target for praying in the spirit I'm hitting my target 100% of the time and it is always a bullseye dead center. With praying with my understanding I may meander never hitting the bullseye 100% unless God Supernatural input gives the words to speak and that can happen as well. To conclude praying in tongues is Supernatural. There are so many benefits to praying in tongues.
Now I am even having questions about whether the Hebrides Islands was a true revival. Maybe that too was just religious fanaticism and extremism of sorts.
The Hebrides was not Pentecostal. My family knew Duncan Campbell one of the preachers at the revival. The NAR would be highly offended by the Hebrides revival, and the people of the Hebrides would be highly offended by the NAR.
This is NOT an unbiased report and treats the reports of the critics as if they are unbiased fact. The truth is that "objectivity" in media reporting was nearly 40 years away, and muckraking was the order of the day. Mental health professionals were about as sympathetic to fervent religious expression then as they are now. There have ALWAYS been nonreligious spouses that have claimed "abandonment" because their wife/husband started attending services with regularity and altered their lifestyle. Further, the racial mixture of the congregation was a scandal to the sensibilities of the time, particularly with a "semi-literate" black man who was the descendant of former slaves leading the media. The already biased media would have been under no impulse to present an unbiased report about the report, and over sensationizing the activities would have been certain to keep readers returning and the money flowing. It is equally important to examine the reports of the people who actually attended the meeting. Much of what we see reported by members of the NAR is over-hyped and interprets the events on Azusa Street in of their own doctrines and expectations. However, there were a great many men who visited the revival and founded organizations whose worship styles were consistent with their reports from Azusa Street and generally have remained unchanged since, and resemble nothing similar to the either the NAR or the media at the time claimed. Men such as Glenn Cook, Frank Ewart, Frank Bartleman, G.T. Haywood, R.E. McCallister, A.J. Tomlinson, William Durham, D.C. Opperman, and others either went to Azusa or were converted by people who had been. Were there problems in Azusa? Absolutely. The Pentecostal movement was barely six years old at the time, and there were many issues concerning the "rules" that Scripture had laid out that were not yet fully undrestood and applied, leading the early days of Pentecostalism to rather resemble the Corinthian church at the writing of its first epistle. Some of these issues were not entirely resolved in Pentecostal churches until a more systematic teaching on the gifts and their regulation became more normative in the 40s and 50s. The Azusa Revival burned brightly for only a very short time, roughly about 18 or so months. Before the public found other sensational news for their appetites, and most of the people who had travelled in from other parts during that time took the experience back to their communities to share, thus spreading the fire far from its cradle. The death knell of the revival occurred in approximately 1908 when Seymour locked his church doors against William Durham. Durham opened a church in another section of L.A., took Frank Ewart as his assistant pastor, and their church grew to be a large congregation. By Seymour's death in 1922, his church was less than 50, and the church officially closed after the death of his wife. Finally, as to the charge of breaching the peace, when has that charge ever NOT been laid at the feet of churches from the days of the Apostles until now? Huss, Tyndale, Luther, Cathars, Waldenses, Zwingli, Menno, Calvin, Knox, Bunyan, Wesley, Whitfield, Edwards, Moody, and Spurgeon were all accused at various points of breaching the peace by their preaching and worship services. However, the same was true also of John, James, Paul, Peter, and JESUS!! You can even trace the accusation back to the prophets as this charge is laid to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, Elisha, Micaiah, Amos, and others.
Ok, before I even hear the video, I'm jumping on the wagon, I'm going to tell you the Hebrides revival was very real. My family knew Duncan Campbell. He was no Branham or Benny Hinn. The Hebrides revival was nothing like th NAR could imagine, and would be quite offended by. The Hebrides revival was not Pentecostal. The Welsh was somewhat questionable, but still legit. But Azusa was questioned and questionable from the beginning by contemporaries.
I've wondered about that. Paul said , though I speak with tongues of men and/or angels---I don't know if it says and or or---and I have not love....I always thought that meant that people might speak in unknown tongues as part of their private relationship with God. Not necessarily at church, all at the same time. What is your opinion about that?
Nope Bible says it’s a great falling away not a world wide revival personally I believe The Bible and after the rapture God turns back to how it was in OT towards the Jews with the age of grace over so any revival is with the Jews
There is an end time revival in the Bible. It is when Christians take Revelation 2 & 3 seriously, and we are revived, getting back our first love, and overcoming the lukewarmness that sinks in so easily. It's when we are revived, not some illusion of a big change in the world. As we are revived, sure, some people will see, and it will help convict them and they will get saved. But you can't revive faith that never has been, so a revival is reviving us, not converting the world. Those who are attracted to what is real, and from God, will be affected by it, if we show that we have real faith too.
I think God is now purifying His people. Personally, I have grown in the Lord the past 5 years . I have a hunger for the Word and such a profound sense of His presence and I’m experiencing His peace daily. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I would rather be in the wilderness with Him than anywhere else without Him. I purchased a One Year Bible and this is my fourth year of reading it. I love His Word and it is changing me in ways I never thought possible.
@lindajohnson you are under strong delusion that GOD has sent because Rev 2 & 3 speak NOTHING of a supposed "revival". Twist, distort and read into those chapters as much as you like for all I care but you are being led down into a rabbit hole and into the ditch by pharisaical evangelicals.
The first chapters of Revelation IMO focuses primarily on warning the church to stop allowing false doctrine and false teachers. There isn’t as much of a personal call to revival. When you wanna bring up Revelation, the world looks BAD for believers not a woo woo revival.
The letters to the churches are Jesus’s words to the churches, but there is NO SCRIPTURE that tells us about a revival that comes as a result of Jesus’s words. The Bible does not say anything about a great end-times revival, it talks more about a great falling away from the faith! The NAR and others who look back towards the Asuza St revival are all false prophets and totally unscriptural.
